i love watching GI Joe, both the cartoon series and the movie. I am hoping that they would make a sequel. ~

No slight intended, but anyone who actually went through the trouble of making their own uniform would probably be disappointed by any derivative vision of G.I. Joe.

It’s actually easier to watch some films (The Breed (2001) comes to mind) if you start off with the intention of writing them up.

It so happens that I just discovered the magic of Netflix streaming through my XBox. One of the films in my instant queue is now Fido.

My pal Josh, who is so heavily into the classic G.I. Joe cartoon that he actually made his own Cobra Commander uniform, saw this movie when it was in theaters and practically wept at how crappy it was. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but it amazes me that you can not only sit through movies this bad but also pay enough attention to them to write a detailed synopsis.

Is this an extension of some kind of superhuman patience skill you honed by reading excruciating Josh McDowell books?

OK, the glass is half full, then, but you have to drink your own lemonade.

On an ameliorating note, I, too, have been known to view a film with minimal expectations and then been pleasantly enough surprised to suggest it as an amusing diversion. Try Fido, should the mood strike you.

Joshua and sirhcton, it all depends on what expectations you take into this. There are plenty of WTF? moments ripe for the skewering. If I’d been expecting a great film, I’d have been very disappointed. Since I was expecting a ghastly one, I was pleasantly surprised. But,hey, it cost me $1 for 5 nights at the video store a couple of blocks from the house, and it was well worth that.

Well, from the review and a few previews, I believe I might prefer something by Gerry Anderson.

Hmm, I didn’t get a chance to see this. I’m not sure if I should or not. Your review almost makes it sound like it is a half-way decent movie. There’s not much fun in seeing that.
